PREPARING THE RAIL Preparation

PREPARING THE RAIL

IMPORTANT!

Each section of rail must be mounted with two mounting brackets.

A mounting bracket must be placed on the next step directly above and below the rail splice joint.

The teeth of the gear rack must face toward the wall nearest to where the lift will be installed.

The rail should be installed 5 in. away from walls or obstructions.

The following sections are instructions for installing the rail and adjusting the gear rack for lifts that have been shipped with pre-cut rails and gear rack. If your rail and gear rack require customization, you MUST read and follow the instructions in Appendix I and II before continuing.

NOTE: These steps are for connecting two rails. If you have more than two rails, follow steps 1-4 for each rail before moving onto step 5.

The top piece of rail has the gear rack protruding out of the lower end. The gear rack is protected by a three (3) inch piece of rail. This rail can be removed and discarded.

TIP

It is easiest to prepare the rail in an open environment such as a room or outdoors unless maneuverability of the full rail will be cumbersome.

DIRECTION CONTROLSThe Escort Stair Lift is equipped with an armrest mounted control and two wireless remote controls. All controls are constant pressure.

To prevent accidental movement, the lift has a programmed delay before moving.

When using the remote control, aim the remote toward the lift’s receiver eye located on side of the lift.

FOOTREST SAFETY PANThe lift is equipped with a safety pan mounted on the bottom of the footrest. Should the safety pan encounter an obstruction, the lift will stop abruptly. The lift can be backed away from the obstruction.

CHAIR LOCKThe lift will not operate if the chair is not locked in the ride position.

When using the lift at the top of the staircase, always verify that the seat is securely locked in the load (rotated) position before attempting to sit in the chair.

SEAT BELT RESTRAINTAlways use the seat belt.


Maintenance

SHOCK HAZARD

To prevent electrical shock or damage to the lift, disconnect the 120 VAC power when cleaning the lift. Never apply cleaning liquids directly on the rail mounted charging stations or electrical safety switches.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCEThe rail gear should be cleaned once a year or more frequently if exposed to contaminants such as pet hair, excessive dust, etc. Wipe debris from the gear teeth. Apply a small amount of lubricant onto a clean cloth and wipe across the gear teeth. Do not apply too much lubricant. Over lubrication will attract dirt and debris.

Ensure all rail, footrest and seat support fasteners are tight.

The seat post and thrust roller bearings should be lubricated once a year or sooner if used frequently.

TIP

The seat post and thrust roller bearing should be lubricated with a copper based antisieze lubricant. DO NOT use any type of light weight penetrating oil (WD-40, GUNK, Kroil, Liquid Wrench etc.)

TIP

Gear rack should be lubricated with a multi-purpose calcium grease. DO NOT USE any type of light weight penetrating oil (WD-40, GUNK, Kroil, Liquid Wrench etc.)

PCB Control Board AUDIO ALERTS

CAUTION

Never touch the circuit board chips or circuits. Static electricity will damage the circuit board. When handling the circuit board always disconnect the 120 VAC power and use a static discharge wrist band.

AUDIO ALERTSIf your lift does not operate, diagnose the problem by listening to the beeps emitted:

• No beeps means either the lift is not turned on or the battery has no charge.

• A long beep when the control switch is pressed indicates the lift is touching an obstruction.

• One beep per second for 30 seconds (after a 30 second delay) indicates the lift has been stopped off the charging station. It is recommended that the lift be immediately moved to a charging station (located either end of the rail).

• Two beeps every 60 seconds indicates a major fault with the circuit board. Turn unit off and back on to reset.

• Three beeps every 60 seconds indicate a major fault with the footrest sensor. Turn unit off and back on to reset.

• Seven beeps every 60 Seconds indicate a major fault with the slow down switches. Turn unit off and back on to reset.

• Eight beeps every 60 seconds indicate a major fault with the limit switch. Turn unit off and back on to reset.

If your lift fails to reset, contact your dealer for service.

NOTE: A fault is defi ned as major any time it requires the unit to be turned off and back on to reset.


Remote Control

REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMINGIf there are multiple lifts in the home, the infra-red remote controls can be programmed to work with individual lifts.

1. Remove the battery door on each IR remote.

2. Move the dip switches to a diff erent code. The two

remotes must be set to the same code.

3. Replace the battery doors.

4. Use the seat control switch to move the lift so that

it is not on a limit switch.

5. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

6. Swivel the seat toward the upper landing.

7. Press and hold the footrest safety pan to

simulate an obstruction.

8. Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. Fast beeping

should occur indicating the circuit board is in the IR

learning mode.

9. Release the footrest safety pan and swivel the seat

back to the normal, riding position.

10. Aim the fi rst IR remote at the chassis, press and

release the UP or DOWN button. The fast beeping

CUTTING THE RAILAppendix I

Figure 32-1

CAUTION

Before cutting the rail, remove the gear rack, charging strip and wire from the rail.

TIP

When removing the gear rack DO NOT remove the screws from the gear rack. If you do, the fastening plate will become lost within the channel and the gear rack will need to be removed.

CUTTING THE ALUMINUM RAIL

One Rail Installation (96 Inches or less)1. Determine if the lift will be installed on the right or left side of the staircase. [Figure 32-1]

When deciding on which side of the staircase to install the lift, consider:

• Which side off ers access to an electrical outlet?

• Which side has protruding obstructions such as handrails or wall or window trim?

• Is there a doorway at the top or bottom?

2. Determine top and bottom of rail. The teeth of the gear rack must face toward the wall nearest to where the lift will be installed.

3. Remove the charging strip, gear rack and wiring from the rail.

4. Cut the rail to length.

5. Replace charging strip in both ends of the rail routing the wire through the main interior channel. [Figure 32-2]

CUTTING THE GEAR RACK Appendix II

APPENDIX IICutting and

Adjusting theGear Rack

The following section is for installations where the rail has not been ordered pre-cut.


CUTTING THE GEAR RACKAppendix II

CUTTING THE GEAR RACK

Gear Rack Cutting Rules

Total length of gear rack equals total rail length minus 10.5 inches.

The shortest length a section of gear rack can be cut is 22 inches long due to the spacing of the screws.

Each section of gear rack must have at least two mounting screws.

If the required length measures to the middle of a gear tooth, make the cut at the nearest tooth root (the thinnest part of the gear teeth).

If the cut falls on a screw hole, increase the length by one tooth.

Each section of gear rack is 46" long.

1. Use the Gear Rack Confi guration Form to determine the length of the gear racks.

Total Rail Length =

minus 10.5 inches

(Total gear Rack Needed) =

(Smallest Possible Length) minus 22 inches

(working inches) =

divided by 46

number of full gear rack pieces

Remainder

If remainder is < or = 24 inches, add this to the 22 inch cut. You will only need to make one cut.

If remainder is > 24 inches, cut one piece at remainder and one piece at 22 inches. You will be making two cuts.

READ MANUAL

Pay close attention to the instructions and guidelines below to ensure a proper cut on the gear rack. If you have any questions please consult our technical service department at 866-294-4460.

TIP

Depending on the length of your rail you will need to cut either one or two pieces of gear rack.

2. Cut either one or two pieces of gear rack depending on your confi guration.

3. Insert the gear rack pieces into the top of the rail.

4. Lightly tighten the rack with the hex screws.

GEAR RACK CONFIGURATION FORM


ADJUSTING THE GEAR RACK Appendix II

ADJUSTING THE GEAR RACK 1. Loosen the splice bars just enough to allow for some play between the rails.

2. Loosen all of the screws in the gear rack using the 9/64" hex wrench included with the lift [Figure 37-1]. (Do not remove the screws)

TIP

DO NOT remove the screws from the gear rack. If you do, the fastening plate will become lost within the channel and the gear rack will need to be removed.

3. Position the lower gear rack to the correct end of rail spacing dimension (shown below). [Figure 37-2 and 37-3]

ADJUSTING THE GEAR RACK (CON'T)4. Tighten all screws in the gear rack

5. After securing the lower gear rack, slide the next gear rack against the lower gear rack. Bridge the mating ends of each gear with the timing tool.

6. With the timing tool engaged in teeth of both gear sections, tighten the upper gear rack to the rail.[Figure 38-1 and 38-2]

7. Repeat with remaining gear rack pieces.

8. Retighten all the splice bars screws.

9. Move the end stop to the end of the gear rack and tighten in place with a 9/64" hex wrench. [Figure 38-3]
